Should You Buy Stocks Ahead of the Midterms? History Says There's a 100% Chance Of This Happening If You Do.

Investors have recently been rocked by a big sell-off in the tech sector, especially in AI-related semiconductor stocks. Add in the ongoing war in Iran, higher inflation and interest rates, and the uncertainty over the mid-term election, and it's no wonder stocks have largely sold off heading into November. But should you buy the dip? According to the history of returns for the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) after midterm elections, you most definitely should. Since 1950, investors buying at the end of October during a mid-term year have been treated to subsequent positive 12-month stock market gains 100% of the time. You read that right; the S&P 500 has had positive one-year returns following every single mid-term election in recent history. The average return is 16.6%, with a median return of 16.3%. The lowest one-year return was 3% in 2014, while the highest was 33.6% in 1954.
